The Truth of Truths
By- Ryukitsune
I will own Naruto when I finish my time machine, but until then, I do not.
Chp.2 A missing nin's weapon?
Uzumaki Naruto ran through the storm towards the Hokage tower, His white shirt and black shorts becoming wet in the rain. The third had asked him to come today no matter what. The six year olds mind ran wild with thoughts of what the old man would teach him. Giggling to himself, he enters the tower and head for the hokage's office.
Entering the room, Naruto notice there were varies ninja along with the third. Most of them were Jounin and ANBU, but there was also a member of the council. Ignoring the stares, Naruto made his way to the Hokage's desk.
" It's good to see you, Naruto-kun." Sandaime said with a small smile. Naruto notice there was something off about the old man, but decide it was nothing.
" Same to you, jii-sama. So, what are you going to teach me? Something cool right?" the hyperactive child question.
One of the council members coughs loudly, causing the third to sigh.
" Iruka-san has told me that during class you activated a bloodline ability, a doujutsu?" the Hokage question.
Naruto nodded his head remembering the said incident. They had been told to focus charka to their eyes to increase their eyesight. When Iruka had gotten to Naruto, he had noticed the boy's eyes had become a different color. Naruto press his hands together and gather his charka. At first nothing, happen but then, his blue eyes began to become mix with red. The two colors began to spin and merge, faster and faster, until finally Naruto's eyes stop at a brilliant violet color.
" Neat, uh?" Naruto ask, as his eyes turn back to their natural blue.
" Naruto-kun, " Sandaime began " at the opinion of the council, I have decide to have you specially train." The rage in the third voice was barely hidden. " Tomorrow you will meet your new sensei at training field three at 6:00."
Naruto just stare at the old man. Special training? What kind of training would it be? Naruto was about to speak when the Hokage cut him off.
" Why don't you find Iruka-san and get some ramen?" the third told him. Grinning happily, Naruto ran out the door to find his teacher and score some free ramen. As soon as the door close, The Hokage turns to the council members.
" I have done as you asked, though I still do not approve of it." The third told the members, not caring to hide his anger.
" It is for the best, I assure you sama-sama. With Naruto train as a weapon for konohagakure, no one will ever challenge us." One of the members spoke, fingering his graying beard.
Next day, training field three
Naruto hurried to the field. Today was the day he became one step closer to the title of Hokage. Arriving at the field, he spotted a person standing in the middle of the field. The kid couldn't have been more then 11. That meant he wasn't even a genin yet. Naruto walk over to the kid, determine to get to the bottom of this.
" Who are you and where is the person who's gonna teach me?" Naruto asked the kid.
The kid look him once over and said in a small voice " I am Uchiha Itachi, at your service." Itachi gave a little bow. " And staring today I will be your sensei."
" Why would they let a kid like you teach me!" Naruto exclaimed. Itachi just smiled.
" Even though I look like a kid, I am already an Jounin." Itachi answer. Naruto still look unconvinced.
Itachi decide to give Naruto a demonstration of his ability. Forming some hand seals Itachi cried out. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (1)!" instantly 12 Bunshin appeared.
" WOW! You got to teach me that." Naruto yell at seeing the solid clones. Itachi cancel the Jutsu and walk over to Naruto.
" Once we have finish you will be able to do not only that but many others." Itachi spoke as he patted the hyperactive ninja on the head. " But first we must see how your charka control is."
Naruto nodded his head and placing his hands together, he began to mold charka. Itachi watch, noting that Naruto could only mold a small amount. Telling Naruto to stop, Itachi began to think. After a while Itachi decide what was need to be done.
" Naruto-kun, to master more of your charka, I want you to claim this tree using only your feet." Itachi said as he shows Naruto the tree. Gathering charka at his feet, Itachi walk calmly up the tree. When he had arrived at the top, he jump back down to where Naruto stood.
" Now you try." Itachi toss a kunai toward Naruto. " Use this to mark your progress. Once you made it to the top, come to the Uchiha residents and get me." With that Itachi disappeared.
Five days later, atop a tree
Naruto stared out over the village and smiled to himself. He had finally made it to the top of the tree. Running down the bark, he began to make his way into town. Searching around, he finally found the resident of the Uchiha clan. Naruto marvel at the size of it. It was nearly as big as konoha's shopping district. He wanders around and stare at all the different building.
" Hey you, why are you here?" Naruto turn to see an older man pointing at him. Before Naruto could move, two other people grab him. " Let me go! Let me go!" Naruto yell at the people as they made their way to the gate.
" Put him down!" Itachi appear from around the conder. Naruto jump from the people's grip and ran to his sensei.
" But Itachi-sama, don't you know who that is?" one of the man ask, pointing at Naruto.
" Yes, my new student. So anyone who lays a finger on him will answer to me." Itachi stated plainly. He turns around and began toward the compound's exit. Naruto hurried after his sensei. As they continued to walk through the village, Itachi was the first to speak.
" Did you make it to the top of the tree, Naruto-kun." Itachi ask the blond boy.
A cocky, but not arrogant, grin became plastered on his face. " Yeah, I did sensei. All the way to the top. "
Itachi smiled at his blond student. " Good, then we can begin the next phase of your train. " and with that head for the river.
Two days later, northern river
Naruto hop around with joy. He had just complete the second (and he prayed, last) phase of his training. He continued to jump until he spy his sensei appears from between some trees. Before he could run up to Itachi, the Jounin raised his hand.
" The council has asked me to figure out the abilities of your doujutsu." Itachi said, still angry that the council would dare to order him around. It wasn't that he thought that he was above them, no, it was the fact that the council was ignoring the Hokage's orders. Sighing, Itachi watch as Naruto eyes became violet. Itachi stare closer. Not only had his eye color change but also there were three rings near the iris. Radiating outward from the second ring was five lines, each space around the pupil. Itachi created a Kage Bunshin.
" o.k. Naruto, I want you to spar with this clone." Itachi said has he activated his sharingan. The Bunshin raced forward and Naruto jump back. Taking out a kunai, the Bunshin slice the air in front of Naruto. Naruto duck down and attempted to kick the Bunshin, but it dodges and spun around, sending the kunai to the blond boy. Naruto roll over, letting the kunai land in the ground. The blond boy grips the kunai and lunged at the Bunshin. All the while Itachi watch. Even without his sharingan, he could tell Naruto was slowly beginning to predict the Bunshin's movement. True the Bunshin wasn't even using half of its true abilities, but considering Naruto wasn't even a genin yet, he was doing very well. He hasn't hit the Bunshin yet but the Bunshin hasn't hit him neither. Deciding to see what Naruto was really captiable of, Itachi command the Bunshin to use more power.
Four hours later, Hokage chamber
The third Hokage stare at the report from Uchiha Itachi. Itachi had spent nearly two hours having a Kage Bunshin spar with Naruto. Moreover, in that time he had figure out some of Naruto's new abilities. The first was that he was able to predict an enemy's movement. This wasn't very surprising. It was a common ability in most doujutsu and was easy to learn even if you don't have a bloodline limit. The second was the ability to copy another's Jutsu. Itachi had found this out when the Bunshin had used Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu (2) on Naruto. He had dodged it and did the Jutsu himself without even realizing it. This meant that Naruto's doujutsu was similar to the sharingan in abilities. However, the third ability was the strangest.
Near the end of the fight, Itachi notice his Bunshin was moving a lot slower then it should have been. It was also making stupid mistakes. Finally, the Bunshin just cancel itself out. Itachi had asked Naruto about it and Naruto had told him that he had thought the Bunshin should disappear. Itachi had grab a kunai and told Naruto to think about him dropping it. Itachi had stared in Naruto's eyes and felt it. A tiny voice in the back of his mind urging him to drop it. Itachi tried to resist it but finally he had to drop it. Hypnosis, or something like it. Itachi said Naruto could implant thoughts into someone's mind and they will do it. Nevertheless, it has limits. Naruto cannot make them do something against their nature. In addition, the said person must look Naruto in the eyes. However, once they look, they are drawn back to his eyes. Itachi had also said Naruto might have two more abilities, judging from the five lines within his eye. The third had never heard of a bloodline limit of this type. How did Naruto gain this power? Deciding to put it off for now, Sandaime began to prepare for the ANBU exam.
